Senate might not pass war funding

When you heard Harry Reid saying that it was the current war funding bill, strings and all, or nothing, you wanted to see what the Freepers said yes?

Well, I did! And it was pretty crazy stuff:

“The days of a free lunch are over,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. .

The country is at war and this is what the al qaeda operative in the Senate from New York said about our military ??? WTF

I think Schumer was talking about the President, not the military. But I suppose mixing up the President and the troops is epidemic on these boards.

If a single soldier is killed because they lacked the funding and equipment due to political posturing mr reid I will hold you PERSONALLY responsible.

Couger97 will totally fight Harry Reid! It's on!

"Anything else is political posturing," said Reid.

What is refusing to fund our troops while they're over there being shot at and trying to avoid ieds, Harry? What is demanding YOUR OWN MILITARY retreat or DIE, Harry? That's not just political posturing, it's STRUTTING AROUND ON THE GRAVES OF OUR SOLDIERS.

I heard Reid whining about the cost of the war to the "average American family" yesterday....well, at least we've still GOT families. What about those who lost theirs on 9/11? What about those who will lose theirs in the next terrorist attack - which is a guarantee if we retreat?? What happens to the morale of the soldiers who've fought so hard to free the people of Iraq and in many cases befriended them if we retreat? What about those Iraqis who will die as a result of us retreating?

Nice imagery in the first paragraph, but the tired argument about 9-11 in the next one is what takes the cake to me. If we leave Iraq, suddenly we become more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. Honestly, I didn't think anyone believed that crap anymore.

Here's a good suggestion:

If Defense Sec. Gates has any moxie, he will start cutting civilian jobs at bases in the districts of those Democrats voting against money for our troops during war time.
Pelosi and Reid say he should find the money in the regular defense budget, and that is exactly where he should find it. After a few hundred thousand are laid off in their states, I think the Dems would be dancing to a different tune than the one MoveOn.org is whistling.

See, if Gates acts petty and spiteful, it will surely be a boon for his party! The American people are looking for more spite and pettiness in politics.

Other than hating on those "RINOS" who also voted against the war, that's it.
